I hadn't cried in 7 years and decided to do some emotional exercises to make myself cry. So I managed to cry about 4 months ago, haven't been able to since even with my grandmothers death. Might start trying again.

Two nights ago at the end of Man on the Moon. Andy Kaufman was such a treasure and Jim Carey really worked hard to pay tribute to him. It’s tragic that Andy’s life ended so young. He was really special.

I’m at a wedding - I’ve been happy crying throughout the night. But I’m an emotional guy - I can cry to xfactor videos or those homecoming compilations. I’m an easy target, but I love to cry. It clears out the system.

It's not hard for me to cry because of a TV show, but for personal reasons I probably haven't cried in 4 years at least, probably more but idk.

The last time I cried out of emotions was when watching a game that you play by blinking. I don't remember the name, but it was emotional, and I couldn't help crying. Yeah, lame, I know.

About a year ago. One of my best and closest friends died. It didn't hit me right away. Took almost two months. Hadn't cried for maybe 4 years before that?

Watch terminator 2 and the end will tear you up

The ending to Clerks III. I haven't cried like that in ages!

No tears for a long ass time but I basically had a no-tear cry when I realized I was struggling so hard to keep up with cleaning, cooking and excercise mentally which is literally what nearly all adults do and many do it on autopilot. Made me feel like such a child.

I was smart enough to recognize that was just imposter syndrome by the next day but it hit hard at the time

I cry at least every few days.

About 3 years ago, I was in hospital, just diagnosed with incurable cancer.

Yes, it’s incurable but manageable with medication to keep it under control. Thank you for asking.

I like that exercise actors do where they watch a clip that made them cry in the past. That scene whwre Dr. Gregory House indirectly saves the quadraplegic with single shot of cortisol gets me every time. Such a soft spot for those who heal and are healed.

Such a soft spot for those who heal and are healed, particularly so when both can transcend their own pain in the process.
